Greetings Reader!

I've wondered from time to time what it would be like if life didn't depend on water. For certain, people cannot thrive or even live without clean water. The Bible also includes many references to "water of life" and "living water."

🌈We are created with a need for clean water and also spiritual living water.

March 22 is World Water Day. It's an opportunity to highlight the importance of fresh water. Tragically, more than 2 billion people live without access to clean water, according to the United Nations.

💦How far would you walk for water?

Unicef created a fantastic video that contextualizes a situation that millions of people face daily. In many countries it is the young girls or women who are tasked with carrying water. And, without a doubt, the water is not pure. ✨ Watch this short video and discuss what surprised you. How would you feel in that situation?

💦What difference does a biosand water filter make?

In the tropical country of Cambodia an estimated 2-3 million people get their daily drinking water from unsafe water sources. Rural communities gather water from rainfall, wells, rivers, or standing water. Concordia Welfare & Education Foundation provides families in rural Cambodia with access to safe drinking water through biosand water filters.

✨Read more about these simple but impactful filters here. The article includes photos and a video from project sites.

💦How can you bring hope and health through clean water?

Concordia Welfare & Education Foundation is a trusted NGO that brings safe, clean drinking water to communities in rural China and rural Cambodia. I've seen firsthand the impact of clean water at project sites in Yunnan province. You can read Stories of Hope on their website to learn how families and schools have been positively impacted by fresh water. If you would like to support a clean water project in China or Cambodia, here are links for learning more and to make a secure donation. 🎥 https://cwef.wistia.com/medias/akhgxldh5o Donate: https://donorbox.org/cwef-worldwaterday​
